Oh man you go all out! I don't lift the cab or take the rad out. Just pull the cam out far enough that its almost touching the rad. saves you a couple hours

I have a 2015 3500 that I bought in 2021 from a dealership and within a couple of days I noticed a leak in my driveway and I took it back to the dealer to check for leaks. A couple of days went by and I got in contact with my service writer he said my timing gear cover had a leak and it was a 24 hour job and that it would be $5500 dollars. I told him that I’m just bought the truck from them less than a week prior and I wasn’t paying for that. He said he would run it by the service manager and he’d get back to me. He called me later that day and said they’ll have it ready for me the following week, no cost to me. I was lucky! 😂I swear I was going to take it back to Ram and tell them to shove it. I already own my house. I’ll take the hit to my credit😂

@@mickyfingaz These trucks are not cheap and the maintenance is not cheap either. There are limited amount of shops/mechanics that understand diesels. It’s crucial to inspect these vehicles thoroughly before pulling the trigger.

I just had this done and when I picked it up from dealer the engine doesn’t sound the same! Not even close, should I expect that?

Was the case cracked or was the gasket leaking? What would cause something like that?
@TDRAuto3 жыл бұрын
The paper gasket cracks on the passenger side, could be from incorrect torque.
